I didn't bother with the corpse of Grey Temples, but went to Gianna immediately. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although I was very worried about Gianna's current situation on the road, I always felt that something was wrong. For example, the expressions of the companions, either continue to look at the late King Gilneth coldly, or return to their posts to appease the werewolves and the Gilneth soldiers, none of whom showed any concern for Gianna's injuries.

And the mage who sneaked up on Gianna, if he sneaked up to Gianna and Luo Ning couldn't find it together, then his level was at least on the same level as the two of them. Why did he defeat Gianna with one move, but he was defeated by Luo Ning in an instant, and the corpse had not yet appeared, and that person should know that I was behind the scenes, why didn't he attack me, did he let Gray Sideburns do it for him? But Gray Sideburns obviously took me as a hostage, and he himself had a chance to do it directly to me.

Again, Sylvanas came and immediately comforted me and told me that Gianna was okay and took her out, without even checking her injuries... It's a bit strange.

Maybe these suspicions can suspect that it was our people who really "attacked" Gianna, and he was a very familiar person, and now that I think about it, rather than saying that he teleported, I feel like he was invisible to me from the beginning, and I have experienced a lot of such sneaky things with him before, and I can't be wrong.

"Ronin, come over to me!" I roared as I turned back to my most trusted mage advisor. And when I looked at him, I found that he was right next to me, and he looked like he was speechless.

"I'm right here, Your Highness....aren't you going to check on Gianna's injuries?"

"Where is the mage who hurt Gianna now. And why do you call me in private? I asked, with a rebuke in my voice, to which he was speechless.

"You actually know, then I can't hide anything, but the fake drama is really done, so let's cooperate, let's go check her 'injury' first." ”

"Are you too heavy?"

"If I do miss, then I won't be here again..."Ronin explained embarrassedly, and in order to end his helpless passivity, he still motioned for me to go to Gianna. "I think she'll tell you by herself. ”

"I think I've guessed that she arranged for all of you, and it was just me who kept it in the dark. ”

"That's your guess, I didn't say anything. ”

We weren't talking about it, we went to see Gianna together, and I really didn't have anything to blame Ronin, even though they did it behind my back, but it turned out to be exactly what I wanted.

"Arthas, you're not mad at Gianna's assertions. ”

Ronin asked, puzzled, which made me feel a little strange, yes, I didn't think he would ask such a question. I think it's necessary to explain some basic points about this.

"Of course not, no matter what she arranged for you or what you did, you don't have to ask me for advice on what was wrong or right, and you don't even have to take the initiative to tell me. ”

"Sure enough, you are sensing each other... I suspect you arranged this..."

"This is the right thing to do, and it also thoroughly investigates how many dead friends here are gray sideburns, and it also saves us from special energy to investigate. "I felt that it was a little strange for Ronin to ask these questions, and it was only then that I thought what could be the reason, that is, what I had done had already made him feel a little disheartened, and I had to comfort him. "Ronin, you are one of my most trusted friends, and I hope that some things are supported by you, and while I know that some things are contrary to your wishes, I don't think I was wrong in putting Gilneth on us, because when a new threat arises, the sideburns will certainly not be positive. ”

"But Arthas, I thought you would imprison him and put him on trial with the Confederates, but you actually executed him. Aren't you afraid of criticism from other countries?"

"Perhaps, but the Grey Sideburns know too many things, and for them, a dead Grey Sideburns may be better than the ones we have. ”

"Riptide Castle is in collusion with Gilnes, and he wants a dead Greyside, but aren't you worried about Stormwind? We've annexed Alterac and Gilnes, we have a special relationship with Kul Tiras, and Dalaran is also leaning towards us and is co-opting the Werewolves. What do you think of this, there is already a huge disparity between our power and Stormwind, how can they not be worried in the future?"

"I don't worry about that, and if Varian accommodates me for fear of my expansion, then I can't help it, because I have to build a strong armed force and a united alliance to resist the threat of the world, and I believe that when the time comes, they will understand how necessary it is for me to do so. ”

I reasoned with my mage advisor, and that's when he said what he was really worried about, or what he didn't want me to do.

"Then did you set your next target at Riptide Castle?"

"No, I will not start any kind of war in the future, until the threat of other worlds appears, Fort Torrent is a righteous country, I do not want to provoke any kind of conflict and contradiction with them, and naturally I will not covet any of his penny. ”

"Really?"

"Believe me, I'm content now, I don't want to stir up any trouble, and you know all my plans, I didn't expect to get Gilneth in the first place, it's all gray sideburns forcing me. ”

"That's good, then our next step is to focus on developing people's livelihood?"

"Of course, I very much hope that this policy will continue forever and that there will be no deliberate development of armaments. ”

I explained, and Luo Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, yes, this is the comfortable and peaceful day he wants, but I don't think it's time for him to think about it...

"I can finally live the life I want to live comfortably. ”

"No, you and Winlessa can't. ”

"Why?" Roning asked in surprise, seemingly forgetting the task I had assigned him.

"Don't forget that we have to go to the western continent to explore together. ”

"Are you still worried that we're going to be uprooted like the mage said?"

"Just in case, the people there might welcome you..."Actually, I want to say that it was an old friend of his 10,000 years ago, but when I think about it, it's a bit nonsense, so I still don't say anything. "The minotaurs there are said to be very friendly to a creature called the Night Elves. ”

"Yes, as long as they don't think I'm a spy. ”

"It's a good idea to get in touch with Crassus before you go, he will definitely help you with your trip. ”

"Well, I guess I'll be ready to leave with Winlessa after you've been to your wedding to Gianna, and it won't take too long. ”

"Well... It's not going to be slow. ”

Our conversation came back to her, and at this moment we were here, in a house in the city, outside the door guarded by Winlesa, and it seemed that she would not let anyone come near to find out that Gianna was not hurt, and we only exchanged glances, and she was still waiting at the door.

Before entering the hall of the courtyard, Marlan and Sylvanas had arrived, while Gianna could only continue to lie in bed. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, I bluntly dismantled her disguise.

"Gianna... I know it, it's all your plan, and you're not hurt at all. ”

"I know Ronin will tell you, and I hope you'll approve of me doing so. Gianna said, but Ronin signaled that he wasn't.

"You're fine, but you shouldn't worry me," I said, sitting down on the bed, knowing in my heart that she was fine, not even hurt. But it was like looking at her as a caretaker of a patient, and he took it for granted that he wanted to put her in his arms. “... As long as you're okay. ”

"Of course I'm fine..."Gianna didn't enter my arms as I meant, but rejected me in a tone and made eye contact with me. Yes, that seems to say something about what they had been talking about last night. "But something happens to some people, I was thinking of putting you and Grey Sideburns in a duel, but luckily I knew in advance that you weren't there. "Gianna subtly exposed me, maybe Ronin was not there for her to blame me, but I always felt that she was not mad, otherwise she would not have treated me like that in the first place.

"Well, that's the way it is... Maybe you're doing the right thing. Let Ronin protect me in the shadows..."I explained this in embarrassment, and tried to find Ronin to signal to change the subject, but he left first on the pretext that he wanted to inform the rear of the triumphant news. "That's what I'm trying to say... Gianna wants you... I hope you don't get angry. ”

Face me like this. Marlan's head was lowered as well, perhaps she thought that her actions had seriously offended Gianna, and she was angered by her. Sylvanas laughed.

"Gianna, you're not doing this even better. Sylvanas spoke to Gianna, then to a guilt-ridden Marlan. She did that because she was afraid that you would be jealous, she refused His Highness's hug, and her anger was purely to warn him not to be biased. ”

"Sister Marlan, I didn't expect my actions to make you misunderstand like this. Gianna was busy explaining, and her toughness on me was instantly resolved.

"It's okay, as long as His Highness doesn't get angry with His Highness Arthas, I don't have anything to ....." She was very relieved to understand it, but her face still showed guilt, which was far from the natural and free and easy in her impression.

"No, since Sister Marlan is committed to Arthas, then we are sisters, and naturally we must also have a name. Gianna really cared more about Marlan's situation in the future. She probably thought I was going to take her in as important a woman as Sylvanas. But actually, I didn't have that idea

"What do you want to do with this?" asked Gianna turning to me.

"I don't dare to ask for such a status. Fortunately, before I could speak, Marlan rejected Gianna's kindness, and I gradually revealed my intentions in accordance with this meaning, such as not being silent, or not promising some positions in my words, and showing a sense of guilt for Gianna.

"That's as it should be, since Arthas can make me an elf and get the approval of His Majesty the King, maybe we can also make you do the same. ”

"Yes, it's nothing, I can have multiple sisters with each other on weekdays, and I believe that each other will not be lonely. ”

Sylvanas was constantly relieved, and at this time, she was moved to explain her experience to Gianna.

"But I have been insulted by thieves, and it was His Highness who gave me hope when I was looking for death... I only want to be able to do my part for His Highness's will, and nothing else. ”

"Sister—" Gianna was surprised to hear this, yes, she never thought she would be in such a situation. "Aren't you all together, Sister Marlan, are there bastards in our army?" Gianna scolded, and the words made me feel a chill.

"Nope..."

"How could that be..."

"I disobeyed His Highness's order and left the army without permission..."

"Did you catch those people?"

"Kill them all... No one knows about it. Sylvanas sighed and explained, looking sorry for what had happened to her... Yes, I'd better be silent now, after all, if I talk more, I might be deceiving Gianna.

"Well, that's all there is to it, Arthas, but since my sister is like this, then you should comfort her even more. ”

"No, Her Highness Gianna. Don't say it, I'm already very satisfied if I can get your understanding, if we are really put on the cusp of the storm, we will not be happy, it is better for me to be your shadow in secret, and I can help Your Highness more. ”

"Thank you Marlan, I won't forget you," I confessed, not to refute Marlan's will...

"But you're doing this, and you're miserable Sister Marlan. Gianna sighed to me, seeing that no one was saying anything, and she wasn't holding her own opinion...

"It's okay, I can still do the same as before—" Malan replied calmly, but I felt the need to be accountable to him as Gianna had said. So I took Marlan into my arms, and at this moment she was no longer as resistant to me as yesterday, or unnatural, but seemed to look forward to and cherished, yes, she knew that there would not be many such days...

"I understand that after our Silver Hand has completely cleared them of dark magic, you will go to control the werewolves and teach them to treat our people like paladins so that they can quickly integrate into our society, and you know that I have high hopes for them, so I will go there more often. ”

"Well..."

We didn't talk too much, we just got up and went back to our places. Since it was better for Gianna not to be in good health, she told her father to tell her father the news of this place, and told him to prepare food for the people of Gilneth now.

While the others were dealing with trivial tasks such as simply repairing the war-damaged infrastructure, pacifying the wounded and resolving the conflict between the werewolves and the Gilneys, and while the battle did not allow them to ease their relationship immediately, I was relieved to hear that the werewolves were all from the outskirts of the city-states and towns around Gilneys, and that they were friendly with the rest of the world because of their previous backgrounds, and did not do anything of damage at all.

And given the current situation, I think there should be some shady contradictions between the central and local governments of Gilneis, and perhaps the other city-states should be better recovered, especially when supplies from Kurtilas arrive.

In the same way, Ronin said that he would spread the news to our rear, believing that the news here had already spread from Lordaeron and Uther, and that we would definitely make some preparations after recovering the whole of Gilneth.

I don't know what their state will be when they get the news, maybe they will be happy for me, happy that I can do such a feat, or maybe they will be angry with me for my initiative to kill the Grey Temples, and of course I am most worried about the impact of this on various countries, such as Stormwind and Riptide. Regardless, a new pattern has been formed, and I don't know what the relationship will be in the future, but I know that it won't be possible without touching Stormwind and Riptide Castle. Maybe they won't understand the point of my doing this until a new threat emerges, but when will that day be?
